"We are thrilled to report that we have been named Public and Social Housing Architect of the Year at the @_bdonline_ Awards!⁠
⁠
It means a lot to us this year as we celebrate our 50th birthday. More so, given when we started out in 1974 our first jobs centred on refurbishing and converting terraced housing into flats for social housing tenants. ⁠
⁠
Our award submission focused on four London projects: Dover Court, our RIBA Award-winning council infill housing on a post-war estate; King Square, a mixed-tenure development that serves as a case study for the Happy Homes social value toolkit; a retrofit of the 1930s-built Barnsbury Estate and 240 homes right by the famous Brutalist landmark, Brixton Rec. ⁠
⁠
The judges said: “This practice demonstrates a strong commitment to people-centred architecture with an environmental focus and a deep engagement with end users.” ⁠
⁠
Huge thanks to BD and their amazing panel of judges, and a huge thanks to all our colleagues at PTE, for their tireless dedication to social housing design."⁠

Hackney based OEB Architects was formed in 2018 by friends Tessa Baird and David Eland. We love the brightness of this house extension development model, and the fact that they have given credit to their sumer work experience student who helped make it.⁠

"Elevation treatment responding to a series of client references showing their love of timber panelling. It accentuates key features of a traditional timber elements; the sash window, the porch and the plinth, working with a slipped form to create a contemporary addition to an East London terrace. ⁠
⁠
We were very happy to welcome @b3yzagorur to the studio for two weeks work experience this summer after her first year @uniofbatharch, who assisted project lead Dominic (@arch___ive) with the development of the model and initial designs."⁠

A lovely looking new house extension project in London from Liddicoat and Goldhill. Arches are really permeating through all aspects of contemporary British architecture at the moment - so many great examples of the form across different typologies and scale.⁠

A great candid photo of the sky lobby of a hotel in Colombo Sri Lanka by London based Balmond Studio, led by architect and artist Cecil Balmond OBE. We love perfectly formed architectural photographs, but we also love more natural looking shots too.⁠

This new extension to an historic building in Johnshaven by Aberdeenshire based Annie Kenyon Architects is on the way to completion. We like the simple juxtoposition in the related form of the extension against the cottage - and the generous amount of sky in the photo.⁠

"Delighted with the progress from @millerjoinery.scot at our Johnshaven commission which sees the restoration of a listed building with a modern contemporary extension formed off the gable.⁠
⁠
We look forward to see the remaining elements completed as we head towards completion."⁠

A great looking new infill house project in London by Yellow Cloud Studio. Sometimes the planning process in London can be frustrating - we hope that this one has now been resolved!⁠

Reposted from @yellowcloudstudio - always with permission⁠

"A few months back we designed a scheme for the transformation of a derelict warehouse into a live/work unit. It has been stuck in planning for months, with an officer that doesn’t understand the location and its nuances, but refuses to visit the site and have a conversation. Providing new thoughtful and well designed living spaces in London seems to be a priority in paper, but the decision making authorities often lack skilled and cooperative people to work with studios towards the same goal!"⁠
